Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas) said Monday that secession was a deeply American principle, amid a growing number of people petitioning the White House to let their states secede from the U.S.
Secession is a deeply American principle. This country was born through secession. Some felt it was treasonous to secede from England, but those traitors became our countrys greatest patriots, the former presidential candidate wrote in a post on his House website. There is nothing treasonous or unpatriotic about wanting a federal government that is more responsive to the people it represents.
He continued: If the possibility of secession is completely off the table there is nothing to stop the federal government from continuing to encroach on our liberties and no recourse for those who are sick and tired of it.
